    @EskayOW Actually Mercy is like the least problem for Overwatch. Sojourn is still a finger in the *** and Mei is the devil that we all know. So where is the poblem with Mercy? I can't get it

  • Unsaltedsalt__ UnsaltedSalt (@Unsaltedsalt__) reported

    when someone is renewing the payment your app bugs, its forced me to dc twice and i was doing a rank 1 climb on overwatch and your vpn has caused me to crash twice so thats 4 games can you fix your app pls @ExitLag

  • TonyDak3 Tony Dak (@TonyDak3) reported

    @TwitchSupport I have claimed items for Overwatch 2 such as the DVA Sleighing Skin and Moira Victory Pose that have not appeared in my game! This has been an ongoing issue that @BlizzardCS has been ignoring! Twitch drops have not been working!

  • veIoure 𝙫𝙞𝙫𝙞 (@veIoure) reported

    honestly, i think i'm going to take an indefinite break from overwatch until blizzard finally decides to release the pve content. the matchmaking system was never great in the first game, but somehow it's only gotten worse and the developers aren't doing anything to fix it.

    @Aether57871125 @TylerWalpole AI is not a tool, it is an intelligent service. you do not use AI, you simply put it in motion. i draw every single pixel of my art by Hand, every moment i am in direct conduction. AI is a separate entity. A tool carries a function through human overwatch, a service acts alone

  • SuperButterBuns Buns (@SuperButterBuns) reported

    yall I have a confession I play overwatch daily. its an actual problem how much im addicted to this game. I've uninstalled the game & battle net itself countless times but I keep coming back. I love ball so much that lil rat got me by the throat. I dont know how to stop pleas

    @EskayOW Overwatch hasn’t been fun since they made tanks unkillable (orisa, roadhog(kiriko issue but still), ram)

  • LlTTLEBUG ace (@LlTTLEBUG) reported

    @Bepicss Find a new game. It’s that simple- Apex, overwatch, CS, hell even cod. All have better scenes than Halo. When I was your age I had the same problem. H4 launched and I had an existential crisis. Either find a career or play a new game, but don’t hope for Halos return. Trust.

    @Outlaws Sojourn is one of the biggest issues Overwatch has faced. However its also a scenario where the slightest change could make her broken or terrible.

  • JordanTroulette That KrayzieCanadian. (@JordanTroulette) reported

    @EskayOW Next patch be like _______ is now the biggest balance problem in overwatch and it will not be fun until they are fixed or out of the meta.

  • AkiraKenjiAmano Akira | Samurai Oni ENVTUBER | Secrets Happening (@AkiraKenjiAmano) reported

    Sorry about todays stream everyone. It was supposed to be overwatch with my new mic. But my computer has been having issues and will be spending the day solving it. While taking the rest of the day as a break day

  • hungjury6 hungjury (@hungjury6) reported

    @GIGAGILION @Estacy94 @TStorm106 There are SO MANY other PvP live service games exist that can serve as a shining beacon of a proper SBMM game in the modern age. Like Overwatch. Bungie's implementation is borderline inexcusable (yet of course there's always a mark like you thinking Bungie can do no wrong)

  • bunnimoniOW bunnimoni (@bunnimoniOW) reported

    @HoshizoraOW There is definitely some favouritism and ‘mercy hate’ put into it, but overall all those metas were in overwatch 1 which is so different to what we have now. Honestly I don’t really care what happens to mercy, but I can see why people have their problems with her

    If you guys are gonna complain about Mercy please come up with something original, I've heard since the 1st day I started playing Overwatch that Mercy's Rez is broken, like move on besties.

  • koblbird Kobolds! How do they Happy Holidays? (@koblbird) reported

    "Thats XCom Baby" Moment of the day: Take out incoming enemy pod with overwatch. Problem is... theres a Purifer in there. And it immediatly explodes. Taking down two of my Rangers with it.

  • OG__Pure Guy who made that Hanzo video (@OG__Pure) reported

    Anybody else having minor frame issues or hiccups in Overwatch? Nothing drastic but in fights I’m noticing little hiccups. Also had a weird issue where after this happens, if I close the game to restart it won’t open anymore (just force closes itself). Wondering if it’s just me

  • dirtyhoIe frenkie de joosevelt (@dirtyhoIe) reported

    Why tf is overwatch lagging so bad...

  • colecassidys 😊❤️😊 ⬅ me and zenyatta (@colecassidys) reported

    overwatch's lore is in a horrible state rn where none of the fandom gives a **** to keep the wiki Super up to date and also all the wiki links to lore sources have been broken anyways because blizzard gutted their own lore information available on the website and now
